A turn of a card may decide file or deathYou better take this lesson from meSome have it all, then a roll of the diceCan take them for everythingNight after night you bet all you haveHoping you won't find yourself in a ditchMore unpaid debts, snake eyes again!ChorusThe fever starts to take it's tollYou fell your blood begin to boilWhen the wheel starts to rollDon't be late to pay your duesOr you'll get your concrete shoesHeads they win, tails you lose.So let it ride and bet it allGiven any moment you can win or fallThe money you owe, the money you spentYou're caught digging in the jar for thisMonth's rentThey've taken the car you don't pay yourDebtsThey're gonna foreclose on all the restHow did you get your life in this mess?Repeat ChorusTake a good look as you bet your last buckIt comes up tails and you're out of luckYou'd better skip town 'cause your cashHas run shortYou borrowed from loan sharks andDidn't reportYour name's on a hit list all over townThe word on the streets is to bury thisClownYour lease on life is about to expireThe season's all over it's time to retire
